:lol: Homi, I agree. I would of had it off until I read a post on body mounts.:banghead: I need them, bad. I never gave it a thought with other Blazers, take it off put it on, no problem. I've never had this one off. That will change.

Have you thought about painting the rallyes mabey a gloss orange or a glossy maroon? I think this with a maroon wheel would look really nice.

I'm not that daring. That does not mean I hadn't thought about it. I like purple, ochra, I like many greens. Orange, yellow. Any color goes. I like black best. Today.;)

Great job Charlie!

Beautiful Blazer! I have always wanted a 2WD Blazer. Almost any year will do but the classics are by far the prettiest... You've done a great job & the blacked out rally wheels rock!

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
 
DZL1, Nobby, Meanlowgreen. Thanks for the comments. It makes all the work worth it.
Yeah Meanlow, I like the black rallys also. Silver pops, but the black seems more hotrod like. jmo... I've been looking at silver rallys on it for 15 years.:lol:

I skimmed through your build. What a beautiful truck! Nice job on the whole thing.
And I like the black rims;)

More than I would like to think. Motor...Maybe...:uhmk:

I have a HUGH pic or two. Looks good, but I know people with dial up hate big pics. I know, I have dial up too.:lol: :metal:

Can't wait to see what you are able to come up with in the end though... I've enjoyed watching the bag install.

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
 
I made a couple of pics more user friendly. These are my wallpaper pics.:metal:
Nate, there are some nice bumpstops lolife99 made for me, I'll be getting those on soon.
I've been busy trying to find a reason the truck runs bad. I've done all but pull it apart to find what the problem is. I suspect a head gasket if I'm lucky. May be much worse. I'll know soon.:metal:

I'm assuming you've swapped or rebuilt the carb to rule that out and run out all the old gas that was in there? I know it was sitting for a while...

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
 
Charlie, the Blazer looks killer!

Out of curiousity, did you paint the top?

LOW DOUGH 06-23-2009 08:51 AM

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
 
When I first saw it with the black wheels and no rings it made me think of a police Tahoe. Neat! My truck is all black like your Blazer. I was going to do the same thing with the wheels. I never thought about the Astro center caps. It is different and cool.

I actually didn't get to read all of it but I did see the pics. I like it.

I pulled the tank loooong ago. Perfect inside. New carb, Swapped carbs. It's not the carb. That was my first thought, but it's not.

Nate, I wish I could say I painted everything , I got it this way, and yes the top is smoothed and painted.

Police rims. Exactly what I thought as well. I still like it that way also, no trim. It really makes it plain jane looking.
The astro caps are nice, at a crawl they put out a touch of flash on the caps.:metal:
I really like the rally look. I don't see 20's anytime soon in the future. I'm very pleased with what I have.:smoke:

Great looking Blazer, How low can you drive your blazer and still have a smooth ride. I like having a low stance but I like maintaing a smooth ride
